Hair Transplants are pricey and technical. Before you start receiving any treatment from a hair loss clinic, make sure that you ask them all of the following questions. Your hair loss specialist needs to be someone you can trust, and the following questions will ensure that you can trust them.
ASK: Will a doctor be performing the transplant procedure?
In the United States, hair transplants must be performed by a licensed physician. This ensures that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
There are going to be stages of the surgery that don’t involve a doctor, like separating hairs before they are implanted, but all of the steps that involve you will include a doctor to ensure that everything is done safely and effectively to get the best hair transplant results.
ASK: What is the doctor's experience with hair transplants?
You don’t want to risk this on a doctor who’s inexperienced or trained poorly.
Doctors that perform this type of work have a high amount of experience and training to handle it. Typically this includes going through medical school, a one-year internship with a hair restoration surgeon, and going on to earn an ABMS-recognized certificate.
ASK: Will my transplant look natural once completed?
It’s important to make sure that the hair loss specialist is taking aesthetics into consideration when going through the transplant. Most good doctors have no trouble moving hair follicles from one place to another, but that doesn’t ensure that they will look natural once they are in position. A skilled hair transplant surgeon will take aesthetics into consideration when performing the procedure. They will place the hair follicles in a way that is undetectable to the naked eye.
POINT: The final look will be around 12 months from the procedure at which point adjustments can be made, and since you need to wait a year, it’s imperative that the doctor starts strong and has a good aesthetic eye.
ASK: Does the clinic employ skilled support staff to help the doctor?
In addition to a skilled surgeon, you will also want to make sure that the clinic has a fully qualified support staff that you’re comfortable with. This staff will be responsible for your care before, during, and after the hair transplant procedure.
ASK: What is the success rate of the clinic's hair transplant procedures?
Ask the clinic for their success rate. This will give you an idea of how likely you are to be satisfied with the results of your procedure. It’s important to find out how effective the hair loss specialist at the facility is at transplanting hair follicles and achieving new hair growth. You only have so much donor area to work with and you want the best hair transplant that you can get out of that area as possible.
Ask your hair loss clinic all of these questions before you proceed with the procedure so you know what to expect.
Doing so helps ensure that you get the best hair transplant results.
